Firefly Glen But you see, it's not me

"Cool-looking." Toad thought about it. They didn't look cool. They looked the opposite of cool. She wondered what other weird ideas the blind woman had about the way anything looked. Maybe looking "cool" was a good thing to enjoy, at least for the time Toad spent with Fennec.

Toad laughed lightly at the declaration that any pup named after an animal, for Fennec, would simply be "Wolf." She was about to follow it with a joke of her own, but then Fennec said something interesting.
Our family does that too.
Toad assumed it must be a coincidence, but, maybe, it wasn't. She had long been looking for clues to the whereabouts of Fox's legacy. They do? As Toad had never heard of a fennec fox nor a meerkat, she didn't make the connection. Toad wanted to ask more, personal, probing questions. She wanted to know who Fennec's mother and father were. She wanted to know if Meerkat and Fennec were full or half siblings. These, however, are rude questions. She abandoned them as they popped into her head.

My family also doesn't allow surnames for girls. We're to take our husband's name, Toad said, probing lightly to see if it might be the same for Fennec.
